For the next 20 hours, police worked to get Coley out of the house. He responded with gunfire, and lots of it. Ultimately, the decision was made to demolish part of the home. Once inside, investigators found Coley dead in his bedroom.

Coley had been going through a divorce. He was being evicted from the large West Bloomfield home. In June, his estranged wife claimed he attacked her and threatened to take off with their son. Coley was in debt with failing business ventures.

Neighbors, who returned home Monday night after being evacuated, say Coley was a nice man. They are stunned to hear any of this was going on inside his home on Forest Edge.

On Tuesday, an autopsy will be performed to find out if Coley killed himself or if he was killed by police gunfire.
